TYPO3
Custom TYPO3 websites, developed in Bielefeld, for companies that need more than just a basic website: multiple languages, complex permission structures, and a system that scales with you.
TYPO3 Agency
TYPO3 is the CMS for companies whose websites need to grow along with them. Multiple languages, multiple locations, hundreds of pages: TYPO3 provides the structure needed to handle all of this. And we have the experience to put it to good use.

When TYPO3 Is the Right Choice
Not every project needs TYPO3. But if your website needs to support multiple languages or manage different locations under one roof, TYPO3 provides a more stable foundation. This also applies if your editorial team works with clearly defined roles and approval processes. We’ll give you honest advice on whether TYPO3 is the right fit for your project or if a leaner solution like WordPress would make more sense.
How Your Team Works with TYPO3
TYPO3 isn’t a system you can just install and let run on its own. But that’s exactly what makes it so powerful: editorial workflows, access rights, and site structures can be tailored precisely to the way you work. Your editorial team gets a backend that’s tailored to its tasks. No cluttered interface, no features that nobody needs.
From corporate websites to multisite portals to accessible relaunches: every page we develop with TYPO3 is tailored to your organization’s specific needs. The following examples show how companies use the system with our help.
These companies know how we work
TYPO3 offers over 5,500 extensions in its official repository, ranging from content elements and forms to complex workflow automations. If an existing extension doesn’t fit the bill, we develop our own: custom content elements, form logic with multi-step validation, or interfaces to third-party systems. Every extension is built to remain compatible with TYPO3 updates and to avoid creating technical debt. This means clean documentation, automated tests, and an architecture aligned with TYPO3 core conventions. When selecting existing extensions, we apply strict criteria: active maintenance, regular updates, and compatibility with the current LTS version. We check every extension for code quality and security before deployment. This ensures that your system remains maintainable, expandable, and free of legacy issues even years down the line. For each project, we decide on a case-by-case basis what a TYPO3 agency should develop in-house and what it’s better to purchase.

From the briefing to the go-live
Requirements and Concept
Together, we’ll clarify what your TYPO3 website needs to accomplish: target audiences, languages, roles, interfaces, and integrations. This will result in a concept that includes the page structure, navigation logic, and technical framework. During this phase, we’ll also determine which TYPO3 extensions to use and where custom development is needed. This ensures there are no surprises later in the project—neither in terms of technical requirements nor the budget.
Design and Prototype
We develop the visual design based on the concept. You’ll see drafts for the most important page types, provide feedback, and we’ll refine the design until we reach the final result. From the very beginning, we take into account how the design will be implemented in the TYPO3 backend. Which elements can your editorial team create on their own later on, and where do fixed structures make more sense?
Development and CMS Configuration
We implement the design using clean code and configure TYPO3 so that your editorial team can work with clear workflows and permissions. This includes custom content elements, page templates, access rights, and approval processes. If needed, we develop custom extensions or integrate third-party systems via APIs. Every component is documented and designed for maintainability.
Testing and Launch
Before the site goes live, we’ll test the following in a staging environment: features, performance, responsiveness, and accessibility. Your editorial team will receive an introduction to the backend and can enter initial content on their own. Once everything is ready and you give the green light, the site goes live. After that, we’ll continue to be available—whether for maintenance, enhancements, or new requirements.
